Very high Mach-number electrostatic shocks in collisionless plasmas.

The kinetic theory of collisionless electrostatic shocks resulting from the collision of plasma slabs with different temperatures and densities is presented. The theoretical results are confirmed by self-consistent particle-in-cell simulations, revealing the formation and stable propagation of electrostatic shocks with very high Mach numbers (M>>10), well above the predictions of the classical ...

A critical Mach number for electron injection in collisionless shocks.

Electron acceleration in collisionless shocks with arbitrary magnetic field orientations is discussed. It is shown that the injection of thermal electrons into the diffusive shock acceleration process is achieved by an electron beam with a loss cone in velocity space that is reflected back upstream from the shock through the shock drift acceleration mechanism. The electron beam is able to excit...

Quasiperpendicular High Mach Number Shocks.

Shock waves exist throughout the Universe and are fundamental to understanding the nature of collisionless plasmas. Reformation is a process, driven by microphysics, which typically occurs at high Mach number supercritical shocks. While ongoing studies have investigated this process extensively both theoretically and via simulations, their observations remain few and far between. In this Letter...

Generation and Evolution of High-Mach-Number Laser-Driven Magnetized Collisionless Shocks in the Laboratory.

We present the first laboratory generation of high-Mach-number magnetized collisionless shocks created through the interaction of an expanding laser-driven plasma with a magnetized ambient plasma. Time-resolved, two-dimensional imaging of plasma density and magnetic fields shows the formation and evolution of a supercritical shock propagating at magnetosonic Mach number M_{ms}≈12. Particle-in-c...

Waves and Instabilities in Collisionless Shocks

By scattering particles and causing dissipation, waves in a collisionless shock play a role similar to collisions in an ordinary gas. In describing the waves and instability that occur near a shock three regions must be considered: (1) the transition region, (2) the upstream region, and (3) the downstream region. The transition region is usually characterized by an abrupt broadband burst of ele...
